Old Town Bridge Trondheim, Trondheim, Nord-Trondelag
Old Town Bridge is located in Trondheim, Sør-Trøndelag County, Norway
Originally Gamle Bybro was constructed of wood, but the wood was supported on three stone piers. In the middle of the bridge, an iron gate was placed. This remained a guarded city gate until 1816. At each end of the bridge there was a toll and guardhouse. The access house on the west end still stands, but that on the east side was taken down in 1824. Gamle Bybro was reconstructed in 1861 by the engineer Carl Adolf Dahl (1828-1907). Today Gamle Bybro is one of Trondheim’s characteristic landmarks.
